| 6/7/26 | ![]() Episode 187 - The Best of UK Games Expo 2026 | In this special post-Expo episode of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we unpack all the cardboard, conversations, and convention chaos from the UK Games Expo 2026! After spending three (and a bit) days exploring the halls of the Birmingham NEC, playing as many games as humanly possible, catching up with publishers, designers, and listeners, and carrying far more games than our backs would recommend, we're finally back behind the microphones to share our highlights from the UK's biggest tabletop gaming convention. We discuss the standout board games of UKGE 2026, the biggest surprises from the show floor, the hottest upcoming releases, and the indie gems that deserve more attention. From heavyweight strategy games and family favourites to exciting RPGs, miniatures, and prototypes, we cover the titles that made the biggest impression on us over the weekend. Of course, no UK Games Expo recap would be complete without the presentation of the prestigious Polyhedron Collider Awards 2026.

| 5/9/26 | ![]() Episode 185 - Orloj, Kinfire Council, Warcrow Adventures, and Fate Defenders of Grimheim | In Episode 185 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the boys tackle another eclectic lineup of tabletop goodness—featuring astronomical clocks, fantasy councils, tactical dungeon crawling, and heroic last stands against the forces of darkness. We begin in medieval Prague with Orloj, a beautifully themed Euro inspired by the construction of the famous astronomical clock. It's all about timing, efficiency, and trying not to get lost in a sea of gears and iconography. Next up, we head into the world of Kinfire Council, where negotiation, politics, and strategic card play collide. The dungeon-crawling boots are back on as we explore Warcrow Adventures. We discuss the campaign system, tactical combat, and whether Corvus Belli's leap into narrative fantasy adventure delivers the goods. Finally, we make our stand in Fate: Defenders of Grimheim, a co-operative tower defence-inspired board game full of monsters, teamwork, and heroic desperation. It's big, bold, and occasionally brutal. Along the way expect the usual Collider mix of over-analysis, questionable strategy advice, and tangents that somehow make perfect sense at the time. Tune in for another packed episode of board game chat, fantasy adventures, and cardboard chaos—and let us know what's been hitting your table lately over on our [Discord server]!

| 11/11/25 | ![]() Episode 176 - Malediction, Wroth, Canal Houses, Steam Power, White Castle Duel and Bladerunner RPG | To support Movember go to https://uk.movember.com/ In Episode 176 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the lads tackle a monster lineup of games covering curses, canals, castles, and cyberpunk chaos. From deep Euros to dicey duels and dystopian roleplay, it's a feast of cardboard, neon and noodles. Hot from our painting challenge, we start with dark rituals and wicked words of Malediction in this spell-slinging game of grimdark miniature combat. Then it's onto Wroth, the latest offering from Chip Theory games; a dice pool area control game that full of neon colours. Things calm down (sort of) with the charming card game Canal Houses, all about building along the waterways of Amsterdam. Beautifully thematic, deeply puzzly, and wetter than a typical UK summer. Next up, we turn the dials and stoke the engines in Steam Power, a game that puts logistics and efficiency at the heart of its design—perfect for anyone who loves their cubes neatly aligned. But we can't help feel we've played it before. And in The White Castle Duel, Two players enter the castle, one player leaves (hopefully with honour intact). We test the head-to-head version of The White Castle and see if it captures the elegance and crunch of the original. Finally, we step into the neon rain for the Blade Runner RPG withe the second case file Fiery Angels, diving into a world of mystery, moral choices, and melancholy monologues. Expect less shooting, more brooding. And don't forget—you can join the discussion over on our [Discord server]!

Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 174 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the boys dig into some very different tabletop experiences—from lush engine-building to sneaky strategy and top-secret dossiers. First is Leaders, quite literally hot off the press from Tabletop Scotland Then we get our hands dirty with Earth, the card-driven tableau builder where ecosystems bloom and combos flourish. We then engage in a little two-player espionage in Classified Information and provoke all out chaos in Prowl: Clans & Cunning Alongside the reviews, there's the usual Collider mix of banter, tangents, and questionable metaphors (and of course discussions about the best motorway).

| 9/7/25 | ![]() Episode 173 – Pax Pamir, Fate of the Fellowship, Sengoku, Ink & a Dash of Cthulhu | In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we tackle Pax Pamir, The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, General Orders: Sengoku Jidai, and Ink, while Sid shares his eldritch adventures at a live Call of Cthulhu show in Edinburgh. Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 173 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we're knee-deep in intrigue, fellowship, feudal battles, and… calligraphy? That's right, we've got a varied lineup of games to talk about, and plenty of banter to go with it. As always, expect a healthy mix of strategy talk, tangents, and the usual Collider nonsense. Sid & the Call of Cthulhu Live Sid takes a detour from the tabletop to Edinburgh, where he experienced a live Call of Cthulhu performance. Expect tales of eldritch horror, theatrical madness, and perhaps one or two sanity checks. Pax Pamir We revisit Cole Wehrle's masterpiece of politics, shifting alliances, and fragile empires in 19th century Afghanistan. Is it still as brilliant—and brutal—as we remember? The Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship Middle-earth gets a fresh spin in this new take on Tolkien's epic. We explore whether it captures the tension, the drama, and the journey of the Fellowship (with fewer second breakfasts). General Orders: Sengoku Jidai Two players, one board, and a battle for feudal Japan. From the minds behind Undaunted, this tight tactical skirmish impressed us with its elegance and depth. Ink A light pattern game that's quick to teach but surprisingly tricky to master. Perfect for when your brain's fried after too much Pax Pamir.

| 8/17/25 | ![]() Episode 172 - Altay, Ponzi Scheme, Gwent, Burnt Moon, and Compile | In Episode 172 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we share our highlights from PeachCon (and meeting Chris Peach from Peachy Tips) while diving into Altay, Ponzi Scheme, Gwent, Burnt Moon, and Compile—all with the usual mix of board game chat and PhC nonsense. Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 172 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the lads return fresh from PeachCon, where they finally got to meet the legend himself—Chris Peach of Peachy Tips—and, naturally we've played a mountain of games since last episode. This episode is jam-packed with board game reviews - as we discuss deck building area control on Altay, make questionable financial decisions in Ponzi Scheme and round off the episode with a two-player lane-battler extravaganza. We discuss Geralt of Rivia's favourite card game in Gwent: The Legendary Card Game, hack the planet with Compile, and carefully co-ordinate drone strikes in Line of Fire: Burnt Moon. Alongside the gaming chat, expect the usual Collider mix of nonsense, tangents, and a lot of laughter. Tune in for board games, hobby highlights, and more than a few questionable financial decisions.

| 8/3/25 | ![]() Episode 171 - Jackpot Set the Reel, Fathom, Cyclades, and Transgalactica | Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 171 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we blast off into space, dive into the depths, battle for ancient Greek supremacy, and try our luck at the slot machine of strategy—all in one beautifully unhinged episode. We kick things off with Jackpot: Set the Reel, coming to Kickstarter soon. This quick little card game promises to blend slot machines/fruit machines with strategic card play. Jackpot looks light, but is there enough game behind the glitter? We spin the reels and find out. And what the hell is a puggy! We then explore the depth in Fathom, an entry level board game about exploring the depths and cataloguing its divergent wildlife. Bac to the classics, well sort of, as we go in depth on Cyclades: Legendary Edition, the mythological area-control game full of gods, monsters, tactical auctions, and being a bigger dick than Zeus himself. Does it still hold up? And who summoned a Kraken again? And last of all we go to outer space in Transgalactica, a controversial game of going up tracks and colonising space. Expect the usual dose of board game insight, over analysis, mild nonsense, and just enough arguing to keep things interesting. 🎧 Don't forget to join our community on [Discord] and let us know what you think of the games—or tell us what we missed! https://discord.gg/RtC25Vf2qA Podcast Contents 00:00:00 Osprey Games 00:05:00 Peachy Con 00:05:44 Andy's Birthday Con 00:11:13 Jackpot Set the Reel 00:19:40 Take the Throne 00:20:20 Fathom 00:30:35 Cyclades: Legendary Edition 00:44:12 Transgalactica For a 10% discount at Tabletop Dominion (the amazing makers of the dice cubes), go to tabletopdominion.com/POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER or use the code POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER at checkout ⭐Show Sponsor: Kienda When you sign up to an account with Kienda use this link to bag yourself a wee discount and help support the show.

| 7/13/25 | ![]() Episode 170 - Fighting Fantasy Adventures, Luthier, Take the Throne | Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 170 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we dive into three very different games that prove once again how gloriously diverse the tabletop hobby can be, from classic fantasy adventures that make Steve feel old, to courtly power plays and master-crafted violins. First we step into the dark, nostalgic world of Fighting Fantasy Adventures, the classic adventure books reimagined as a co-op board game by legendary designer Martin Wallace. Can this tabletop take on the iconic solo gamebooks capture the magic and mayhem? We roll the dice and try not to die (spoiler: we died). Take the Throne is a fast-paced, strategic bluffing game that is heading to Kickstarter soon, and we've got an early look. With bluffing, tactical positioning, and a tight rule set, Take the Throne might just be your next favourite lunch-break skirmish. Finally, we fine-tune our skills in Luthier, a gorgeous and deeply thematic euro-game of crafting musical instruments for royalty, rich patrons and prestige. With its unique mechanics and stunning presentation, it struck a chord with us! 🎧 Don't forget to join our community on [Discord] and let us know what you think of the games—or tell us what we missed! https://discord.gg/RtC25Vf2qA Podcast Contents 00:05:51 Fighting Fantasy Adventures 00:24:55 Deathtrap Dungeon: The Interactive Video Adventure 00:26:40 Sound Realms and Steve Jackson's FIST 00:31:30 Take the Throne 00:39:05 Luthier For a 10% discount at Tabletop Dominion, go to tabletopdominion.com/POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER or use the code POLYHEDRONCOLLIDER at checkout ⭐Show Sponsor: Kienda When you sign up to an account with Kienda use this link to bag yourself a wee discount and help support the show.

| 6/29/25 | ![]() Episode 169 – Sankoré, Civolution, and Timber Town | Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In Episode 169 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we're back to the normal format with a jam-packed episode full of cardboard strategy, wooden meeples, and the occasional alcahol related tangent. We've got three fresh games on the table—each offering a different flavour of thinky goodness—and we're ready to break them down. Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa We dive into this beautiful and brain-burning game of knowledge, trade, and influence. Set in medieval Timbuktu, Sankoré blends economic planning with cultural prestige—so naturally, we try to out-teach each other. Civolution What happens when you blend civilisation building with a modular tech tree and evolving asymmetry? Civolution aims to answer that. We dig into the mechanisms, the innovation, and whether it actually feels like building a civilisation. Timber Town Time to grab your axe and get to work! This charming, engine-building game about lumberjacks and town planning took us by surprise. It's a lot deeper than it looks—and yes, we make at least three wood-related puns. So grab a brew, get comfy, and join us for another episode of tabletop talk and trite tangents. 🎧 Don't forget to join our community on [Discord] and let us know what you think of the games—or tell us what we missed! https://discord.gg/RtC25Vf2qA Podcast Contents 00:02:11 Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa 00:24:50 Civolution 00:45:27 Timber Town 00:54:47 Questions for the mailbag ⭐Show Sponsor: Kienda When you sign up to an account with Kienda use this link to bag yourself a wee discount and help support the show.
